Chapter 98

Author: Jason Chord
"What did you just say?" Rachel asked.

"Ms. Avila, our corporate account suddenly has five billion dollars deposited into it! What should we do?" The finance director was practically in tears, overwhelmed not with joy but with sheer panic.

Five billion dollars wasn't just an astronomical sum—it was liquid cash. Even at its peak, the Avila family had never come close to handling this much cash.

The finance director was terrified. Money of such a scale would undoubtedly attract attention from the banks, law enforcement, and regulatory authorities, making a joint investigation inevitable.

How could they explain it?

This wasn't just a financial windfall. It was a potential disaster.

"Ms. Avila, please think of something!" the director pleaded, nearly jumping out of his skin.

"Calm down," Rachel said, waving him off. "You can leave the room for now."

The finance director hesitated but ultimately complied, shutting the door behind him.

Rachel let out a long breath, staring at Gid

    Maisy tried to console Sebastian, "That's right, Seb. That trash Gideon must be completely finished by now.""Sebastian!" At that moment, a burly young man strode into the room."Cameron!" Sebastian's eyes lit up.This man was his friend from the underworld, Cameron Mitchell, who came from a family with considerable influence. Rumor had it they commanded a force of 800 men, making them a mid-tier power in Goldspire's underworld.Cameron asked with concern, "Are you alright, Sebastian?""I'm fine," Sebastian replied dismissively with a wave of his hand. "Where's Dawson? Isn't he with you? Have you dealt with Gideon yet?"Cameron hesitated, his expression awkward. "Not yet."Sebastian frowned. Cameron went on to explain, "Something happened. The Hobbs family suddenly suffered a devastating blow. And their company is on the verge of collapse.""What?" The Morins were immediately alarmed. Sebastian asked, "What's going on?""I'm not quite sure," Cameron replied. "All I know is

    The only solace Sebastian felt when answering the call was that it wasn't from his father—just an unknown number. He forced himself to remain calm and answered, "Hello, who is this?""Is this Sebastian Halton?" a cold and formal voice replied."Yes, it's me," Sebastian said cautiously."This is the Governmental Accountability Office of Aloport. We've received reports that you're involved in multiple instances of corruption and misconduct. You are hereby summoned for investigation. Where are you currently located?"The words hit Sebastian like a thunderbolt. His face turned pale, and his body trembled. No official could remain composed upon hearing from the Governmental Accountability Office—it was a bureaucratic nightmare capable of ending careers overnight."T-There must be some mistake," Sebastian stammered. "I'm—""No need for explanations. The office has issued an official summons. Where are you right now?" the voice interrupted."I-I'm in Goldspire, Verdura," he managed

    Marion added, "I support this decision wholeheartedly. Whoever objects to it will make an enemy out of me and Elara!"Arnold was stunned, to say the least. Since both Marion and Elara had already stood their ground, he decided not to go against them."Can't we wait a little longer? Let's give Gideon some time. Perhaps he might be able to help the Snows rise back to their former glory.""Dad, do you even believe the things you just said?"Elara stared at Arnold in the eye. The latter fell silent after hearing her words.Times were different now.The Snows' situation was already bad from the start. To make things worse, Gideon had gone missing for five years, meaning that he was alienated from society during that period. One could say that he was completely severed from the current business trends. If he truly wanted to bring glory back to the Snows, the chances of him succeeding were a lot lower than him winning a jackpot."Dad, I'm your only daughter. My happiness is the mos

    Kyla wanted nothing more than to witness Elara and Gideon getting a divorce right away. That way, she'd stand a chance in getting together with Gideon.Elara replied, "Alright. I'll call him right away.""Ella!" Arnold called out to her.Before he could continue speaking, Elara cut him off irritatedly, "Dad, you already gave me your word! Don't tell me you're going to stop me again! You're an elder now—don't change your mind on a whim!"Arnold was rendered speechless by Elara's words.Elara was about to call Gideon when she realized she didn't even have his phone number. "Dad, I don't have Gideon's phone number. I need you to call him and tell him to go to the courthouse. Let's go, Kyla."After that, both ladies left the house without looking back.Marion quickly urged, "What are you sitting around for? Hurry up and place the call!"Arnold could only sigh. Finally, he got in contact with Gideon."Gideon, where are you right now?""I'm at my family's company.""Um… I need to

    Gideon and Elara were forced into marriage anyway. Since they didn't have feelings for each other, divorce meant nothing to them. If anything, they'd feel relieved once they were free from their marital bond.It was just that Gideon had always been cold and aloof when it came to romantic relationships. He didn't have any urges at all.Waverly was a good example. Back then, Gideon had almost gotten engaged to Waverly. But now, he merely viewed her as his younger sister. He didn't like her romantically at all.Gideon gave Waverly and Qyra physical checkups. It turned out that both of them were recovering nicely. At least, color was restored to their faces, and their eyes were brimming with life once again."Gideon, we're sick and tired of staying on Beaker Island. Is it okay for us to go out and have fun?" Qyra asked pitifully.Waverly added, "My thoughts exactly!"Gideon replied with a smile, "Since you two asked nicely, why would I turn you down? Let's go. I'll take you out for a

    "What's your name, young lady?" Lavinia asked."I'm Anna Sullivan.""Here. Take this." Lavinia gave her own bangle to Anna. "This is my private token. Should you land yourself in trouble of any form, you can visit the Mosley family in Drammore with this bangle. You'll receive the help you need there."Anna was shocked. "Ms. Mosley, this token is too precious! I—""It's just an accessory. Just take it. Think of it as my gift to you for our first meeting." Lavinia then smiled at Anna. "Anna, can you contact the Warrior King right now? We're running out of time because of the dire situation at the border.""Okay. I'll give it a try."Anna stowed the bangle away carefully before calling Gideon on the phone.Unfortunately, Gideon had set his phone on airplane mode because he wanted to focus on enjoying the day with Waverly and Qyra. The call didn't go through at all."I'm sorry, Ms. Mosley. I can't reach him at the moment. I think Mr. Snow will be back soon. Why don't you stay i

    "You're a bunch of shameless pervs!"Waverly didn't spare the men's pride at all. She warned, "Please leave us alone! Otherwise, we'll call the cops on you!"The men cackled."What are they talking about? Calling the cops on us? Cutie, I guess you don't know who we are, eh?" a bald man crowed haughtily. "This beach resort belongs to me! Not only that, but I also own a few entertainment establishments here! My net worth is 300 million dollars, you know!"He continued, "This right here is the CEO of Lighthart Group! His net worth is a billion dollars! As for that man, he's…"The bald man introduced his companions one by one. All of them were billionaires.Qyra just huffed coldly. "So what? You're nothing to me! I'm going to warn you one more time—get out of my sight right now!""Oh? You're a feisty one, aren't you?"The bald man licked his lips while grinning lecherously. "I've seen too many women like you. You pretend to be innocent when you're secretly a whore on the inside.

    "Oh, shit!""I didn't expect the security team to react this quickly. There are so many of them, too. I think there are at least 100 guards at this point.""That guy's toast! Those two beautiful ladies most likely won't be able to escape from their fate, too!"The onlookers began muttering among themselves.The leader of the security guards roared ferociously, "How dare you beat up our boss, you punk! You really have the balls of steel, huh? I won't be able to rest easy unless I cripple you and torture you to the point you wish you'd have died!"As for you two slutty bitches… Heh! I'll make sure to imprint the ways of true ecstasy on your bodies later!"Waverly and Qyra looked terrified. They knew that Gideon was strong, but they had no idea how strong he actually was. Of course, they wouldn't assume that Gideon was strong enough to face hundreds of security guards on his own. That was practically impossible!What should they do?Waverly and Qyra hid behind Gideon in fright.

    The second round of carpet bombing arrived. However, due to the champions coalition forces taking shelter in the air-raid shelters, they managed to avoid the full impact of the disaster. Nevertheless, several air-raid shelters collapsed, burying those who were already injured and had limited mobility in tragic fatalities. The scene was absolutely devastating!After a continuous 30-minute bombardment, the mountain range was almost entirely flattened. Thick smoke enveloped the area, and flames rapidly spread.Helio experienced an intense sense of exhilaration."Surround them! Take it slow and pick them off one by one. Let them feel that crushing despair. So what if they are masters or transcendent? They're nothing but mere specks!"The fierce wind howled, carrying strands of dark vapor that swept across the entire area. However, this phenomenon went largely unnoticed, as most assumed it was merely smoke from the burning beacons signaling the war.On a distant mountain peak, the ch

    "Lord Howard, I think we need to take more drastic measures. This siege is getting pretty dull," one of the men said."Yeah, I agree," another chimed in."There's got to be some bloodshed!""Revenge for the eight major factions!"Howard, Willis, and Lyle were relaxing with drinks in hand, engaging in casual conversation."You guys can come up with a plan, but let's start by taking out 30,000 masters," Howard mentioned nonchalantly."Awesome!" The generals were thrilled.The battle was about to kick off.Shells started flying one after another, blanketing the entire area with firepower and pounding the whole mountain range."No!"The champions coalition forces were caught off guard.Despite their shock, the well-trained powerhouses did not panic. Under the guidance of the transcendent beings, the 180,000 masters joined together as a formidable force and unleashed their terrifying power, creating a massive storm.The impact of their explosions clashed with the energy of the c

    Douglas rolled his eyes and said, "Gideon, there actually isn't any deep-seated hatred between us. Why don't we take this opportunity to bury the hatchet?""What do you mean?""Do you have any champions under your command who are younger than 30 years old? You can lend them to my family."Gideon said, "Are you planning to recruit outside help to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament? Is that even allowed?"Douglas answered, "It wasn't allowed in the past, but it's permitted for this time round. The Foxhall royal family fought hard for this change, as their young leader's death has left them with a lack of capable successors. They have no choice but to seek help from outside."Moreover, the participants in this tournament are all familiar faces from the previous one, which can be quite dull. So when the Foxhall royal family suggested inviting outsiders to compete, the other royal families simply agreed."What do you say? Do you have any skilled young champions in your command

    In any case, Douglas took a brief moment to gather his thoughts before saying, "I've heard rumors about the Jaeger royal family having powerful secret weapons. It's probably why they're so comfortable living deep in Kitherglen."Did you know, even the Nevitt royal family, who hold the highest rank, didn't select Kitherglen as their territory? They opted for the region surrounding Solaris instead."In the heart of Kitherglen lies many unknown and perilous dangers. Rumors say there are monstrous beasts there that cannot be found elsewhere. These beasts can easily overpower masters and even wipe out transcendents.""Sir, that's correct," Ian confirmed. "Cipher managed to capture three of those creatures in the depths of Kitherglen. But it came at a great cost, as we lost valuable members in the process."Gideon perked up with interest. "If there's any possibility, I want them brought here for me to examine.""Consider it done," Ian replied. He promptly sent a message to Cipher headqu

    "Gideon, I advise you not to go too far. I am royalty. You should know how high my status is! How dare you make me kneel? This is outrageous! "Since you're also from Dasovia, you should know that you should respect the royal family and even hold it in awe! It is you who should be on your knees!" Douglas ranted.He was extremely angry, but he could not do anything about it as he was firmly pinned to the ground.Gideon sat with his legs crossed, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand and smiling. "I have to admire you. You're a prisoner now, yet you're still so full of yourself."Douglas snorted coldly, "Gideon, this humiliation won't last long. But you've caused a huge disaster. My family will definitely take action and gather hundreds of thousands of troops. "Even though you have 180,000 masters and 30,000 transcendents, they'll be like paper in front of a fully armed army. They won't withstand a single blow! If you're smart, release me right away and come with me to surrender

    "What?" Howard and the others were really mad.Even though a lot of powerful masters and transcendents had been taken out, the rest of the forces were still in good shape. They were still backing up the Chapman royal family. Now that six of these factions were completely gone, it looked like Mullong Dragons and Thunderbolt were bound to meet the same fate of being wiped out as well. Howard and the others were grinding their teeth in frustration.But then Willis said, "Actually, this could work in our favor. We were just worried about not being able to make a move on the battlefield, right? So let's use this to force Dominic to show up.""What do you mean?""Let's send out the troops right away to surround those masters and transcendents. That should bring Dominic and his crew running."Lyle thought for a second and nodded. "Yeah, that’s actually a pretty smart move!"Howard agreed right away and gave the order. Before they knew it, 300,000 men were on the move.Among the eight

    It couldn't be Gideon, right?Although Ruby knew that Gideon had considerable power and could make Geoffrey submit to him, it was too astonishing to conquer so many world-class champions. If Gideon could achieve this, he could directly establish a country and become its ruler.Why would he return to Dasovia and stay cooped up in the small Goldspire? Who could it be, then? Ruby was also very puzzled. The two sisters each had their own thoughts and left Beaker Island.…The Chapman royal family was still moving. Finally, after three days, all 300,000 troops were assembled. The forces of the Blood Demons and Thunder Gods also arrived in full. In total, there were 500,000 men.Among them, the number of masters added up to 30,000, and the number of transcendents totaled up to 10,000!The Nine Provinces of Dasovia were extremely vast. Among them, Dalhurst was the largest, with an area equivalent to that of two other provinces. However, two-thirds of it was occupied by mountains and r

    This was also what Lavinia was looking forward to."I've read about your deeds carefully. Over the years, you've been silently making contributions to Dasovia and have achieved countless military exploits. I know that you're a patriotic hero."Currently, Tylland is recklessly provoking us by causing chaos at the border, destroying, and stealing from our people. I don't believe that you are not furious about this, and I also doubt that you will remain apathetic."With your strength, we could easily take on Tylland together. I need to understand why you rejected my proposition."Dominic was touched. He could sense a strong feeling of patriotism in her eyes. It was uncommon to see such a deep sentiment in a young woman in her 20s.At that moment, Dominic couldn't help but appreciate her talents and potential. He knew that if she were to be sacrificed for no reason, it would be a tragic and unfortunate loss."Lavinia, there are hidden talents in Dasovia. There are other powerful peop

    Blood Demons and Thunder Gods were among the top forces in the world-class arena. They were huge and well-known far and wide. Willis and Lyle were also powerful figures who had made a name for themselves globally.When these two factions sent out all their forces, no one could afford to be careless or underestimate them."Those two, Willis and Lyle, do have some skills. Years ago, I tried to seize them and bring them to Oasis Vale, but they managed to slip away and vanish without a trace. I even went to the headquarters of Blood Demons and Thunder Gods but couldn't find them."It'll be perfect if they show up now. We can take them down, capture them, and throw them into Oasis Vale for some toughening up!"The champions' eyes lit up as they heard this. In their minds, they were already silently offering condolences for Willis and Lyle. "These two factions definitely need our attention, but there's no need to stress too much. We can call on our formidable troops if needed. That's i
